BRIDGEPORT -- A New York University graduate student from Stratford was in court Tuesday on charges he threatened to post naked photos of six young women on a porn site unless they sent him more nude pictures of themselves.

"Lisi stated he was `just a perverted kid that was looking for something and didn't realize he was doing anything illegal,' " police said.

All six women had some prior contact with Lisi either in high school or college. One of the women told detectives she had turned him down when he had asked her out on a date at Fairfield University, police said.

The student at Seton Hall told police that nude photos ended up on the pornographic website when she refused to send photos of herself to the Facebook site. She said she was under 16 in some of the nude photos.

"We are looking forward to examining the state's evidence in the case," said Lisi's lawyer, Edward Gavin, as he and his client left the Main Street courthouse.

Lisi graduated last May with honors from Fairfield University and is pursuing a master's degree in film studies at NYU. He also writes a blog entitled "The Moviegoer."

Police said in August they received a complaint from a 22-year-old Fairfield woman who said she had received a Facebook email from a Tim Billards.

The email states: "A friend of mine told me about you, and how you used to send him naked pictures of yourself. He sent me the pictures and I really like what I see. I'd like to see more. I don't want to release the pictures that I have all over the Internet, but I will if you can't help me out. I'm just asking for about five pictures. I'd like a variety, I'd like to see your face in all of them, and I'd like them to be in color. I trust that you'll do this."

When the woman continued to ignore the messages she got one last one, police said, a link to the pornographic site. On it had been posted a nude photo of her, police said.

Stratford Police Detective John Therina traced the computer account to Lisi's father, George Lisi Jr., of Summersweet Place in Stratford.

The information showed the account had been sending similar emails to five other young women. In addition to the three college students, police said another woman is a recent graduate of Fairfield University.

Police said Lisi admitted creating the phony Facebook page under the name Tim Billards and demanding nude photos from the women.
